During the same year, DARPA commissioned Dr. [[Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider|J.C.R. Licklider]] from [[BBN|Bolt, Beranek and Newman]] to lead the agency's research project to improve and maximize the use of computers for the military through the Command Control Center. Based on Baran's idea, Licklider envisioned a universal network that will allow people to communicate with each other using the commputer. He called the first group of computer specialist working in the research project as the '''Intergalactic Network'''. Licklider's interest in connecting the community through a computer network resulted in the creation of the [[IPTO| Information Processing Techniques Office]]. The IPTO became Licklider's office, which oversees a more advanced research project leading to the creation of ARPANET.<ref>[http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~acc/docs/arpa--1.html Part I: The history of ARPA leading up to the ARPANET]</ref>

ARPANET was supported by DARPA/IPTO because of the "promise offered by the computer as a communication medium between people, not as an arithmetic engine."<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/CS/n www.columbia.edu]</ref> DARPA through the IPTO also funded several university research laboratories which include: [[Carnegie-Mellon University]], [[Harvard University]], [[MIT]], [[Stanford University]], [[University of California Berkeley|UCB]], [[University of California Los Angeles|UCLA ]], [[University of California Santa Barbara|UCSB]], [[University of Illinois]], and the [[University of Utah]]. The agency also funded some leading research laboratories such as [[BBN]], [[Computer Corporation of America]], [[RAND]], [[Stanford Research Institute|SRI]], and [[Systems Development Corporation]] to perform advance research on computer network and technologies.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_ipto.htm IPTO]</ref> These laboratories were connected upon the creation of ARPANET to enable exchange of ideas regarding their research activities.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_darpa.htm www.livinginternet.com]</ref>
